New Series 2300 Total Hydrocarbon Analyzer

Press release date: May 21, 2014

BETHLEHEM, Penn — GOW-MAC® Instrument Company, a leading manufacturer of gas analysis instrumentation and compressed gas handling equipment, introduces the next generation of its total hydrocarbon analyzer, the Series 2300 Total Hydrocarbon Analyzer. The Series 2300 microprocessor-controlled instrument is designed to continuously measure concentrations of hydrocarbons and, utilizing an optional catalytic methanizer, CO and CO2 in gas streams. An alternative version is also available for beverage-grade CO2 applications.

The Series 2300 employs a flame ionization detector (FID) where ionized carbon atoms are produced when burned in a hydrogen flame. The ionized atoms are detected by the instrument and displayed as a concentration in ppm or ppb on an LCD. A high resolution graphical LCD touchscreen accompanied with a membrane keypad allows for straightforward navigation through settings and functions.

Engineered to operate on either zero grade H2, a 40/60% H2/N2 or a 40/60% H2/He fuel mix, the instrument features auto ranging from 0.00 ppm to 20,000 ppm; auto zero and auto calibration; programmable relays for concentration alarms, events and diagnostics; electronic flow control of air, fuel, and sample gas; real-time data logging; a flame-out indicator with auto shut-off of gases for safety; and a full array of optional output capabilities, i.e., 4-20 mA, VDC [0-1 V, 0-1 mV, 0-10 V, RS-232, RS-485, USB, and Ethernet, along with MODBUS & PROFINET [read only communication protocols. Samples can be introduced by an optional internal pump or by pressurized tanks.
